Bailey's Art Show - Bailey outside the Visual Arts Center

Today was the reception for the Twenty-Fourth Anual Elementary Art Show at the Charlotte County Visual Arts Center in beautiful downtown Punta Gorda. Each year, the art teachers from the district's elementary schools and the Charlotte County Art Guild select one student's work from each grade in each elementary school. Bailey was the Kindergarten artist for Meadow Park.

The place was crowded with every relative of each student artist searching the walls for their child's art and grabbing for complimentary punch and cookies. First, we located Bailey's exhibit, which she loudly and proudly referred to as a landscape:

As you can see, it is a landscape done in acrylic. She loves butterflies and purple. After admiring her art, we grabbed our own complimentary punch and cookies. There, we met up with her art teacher, Mr. Alvarez, who had nothing but kind words to say about Bailey.

My daughter was disappointed that there wasn't a big announcement or speech given, but had her first taste of what it's like to be in the art world. And my little star is all for it!
